National borders do matter (P.T. Carson and Adam Hockenberry). But not in the way we traditionally think--"we" have to keep "them" from getting "our" jobs. They matter in that the rule of law is observed within our borders with more care than in some other countries. We have certain cultural advantages and so on. But for trade, i think the focus on borders even within free trade circles, is often misleading. Talking for example about the "American" comparative advantage may not really make sense. Ricardo got us thinking that way and it leads often to confusion and xenophobia. That was my point about borders being unimportant.

Capital-Skill Complementarity, Inequality, and Labor’s Share of Income (with Lee Ohanian).Abstract: In this paper, we extend the dataset of Krusell et. al. (2000) for the 1963- 2013 period and assess the implications of their model for the skill premium and the labor share in two decades following the period of their study. We document that capital-skill complementarity and changes in observed inputs alone can account for the increase in the skill premium until early 2000s as well as the flattening of it since then. However, the decline in the labor share in last two decades turns out to be inconsistent with the existing measures of capital-skill complementarity. A re-estimation of the elasticities of substitution between equipment capital and skilled and unskilled labor for the entire 1963-2013 period reveals that capital-skill complementarity has been significantly weaker in last two decades. This is mainly due to increasing vulnerability of the skilled labor to technological progress. We find that a significant portion of the decline in the labor share can be attributed to this increasing substitutability between equipment capital and skilled labor.
